Mar Roxas is currently on a Thank You Tour aiming to go to as many places as he can to thank the people who supported and voted for him last May 2016 Presidential Election. He lost the election but life goes on and by the looks of it he maybe on a better path.

From his mini-blog post, Mar is sending relax vibes and cheerfulness as he recounts the daily journey, at the same time inspiring others to go out and see more of the Philippines, especially the isolated yet beautiful places.

He jokes too! The public perception of him leans more on his ‘seriousness’; his blog post now shows another side of Mar Roxas, marunong palang mag-joke and he can make fun of himself. Lol.

May GoPro pa kami. Naayos naman pagdating sa Batangas. That’s me taking the photo while Yol holds the camera. I may have lost the elections but by golly I can pair-up a GoPro to an iPhone, take a picture and send it! #lifeskill

Using Facebook Notes to share the journey, he reaches out not only to supporters but also to all Pinoys who loves to travel all over the Philippines. With a combination of humor and good storytelling accompanied by pictures, looks like he could make a killing as a travel blogger. 😀

The following are up now on his Facebook Notes – Day 1, Day 2, Day 3. From Manila passing through Batangas Port, Oriental Mindoro, Caticlan until he reached his hometown of Roxas City in Capiz, Panay Island.

The blog posts are really short so you can read it in a flash. Visit the links above to read them.

“I found myself in an isolated beach today.

I could feel the steady countryside breeze, smell our food being cooked, hear the sound of the waves, and see one or two fishermen hauling the catch of the day. And I thought to myself:

This is the life.” – Roxas on travelling

Hope he’ll continue sharing more travel related blogs of his experiences on the road, as they are refreshing respite from the usual news. Who knows, he can inspire you too to go out and explore more of our islands and mountains and lakes and rivers and…

The Philippines is so diverse and beautiful; it deserves your exploration. Byahe na! Who knows you could be the next bonafide travel blogger!
